Has anyone else experienced a long wait to get their biopsy results? I had a hysteroscopy on 1 October where a large 3cm polyp was removed from my cervix and biopsies taken also from my endometrium.
The reason to have the test was because from December through to August I was having very heavy almost non stop periods, prior to that I hadn't bled for years due to a mirena coil which was removed last September after having it in situ for over 12 years (seems no polyp visible back then) I went to the doctor's in April and was put on HRT to try and alleviate the bleeding.. In August I went back to the Dr as I was so fed up after bleeding through 3 pairs of shorts in one day. I was referred for a vaginal ultrasound. By late August that bleeding had pretty much stopped, I actually felt guilty attending the US appointment! But it came back abnormal due to high vascularity also noted 7mm thickness and 3mm ovarian septated cyst but these did not seem to cause any concern. Gynae booked me in for a hysteroscopy. I'm 51yrs old.
So now I have not had a period for 3 months after 10 months of constant heavy bleeding, a few days before my hysteroscopy I started experiencing period like pains which have been persistent for 6 weeks now, along with bloating and grey spotting and clots with no smell (old blood?) I went back to the Dr on Thursday and asked them to follow up on my results as they could not see anything showing as processed by the hospital in my test results. I had also tried ringing direct but never get an answer, just a voicemail and they haven't returned my calls.
The worst part is the consultant told me the wait for results was 2 weeks!
Thank goodness they have come back after all this time.
I hope they can see you quickly to investigate the continued blood loss.
